Intermittent Seatbelt Light

Halfway there.....

I have isolated the intermittent flashing seatbelt warning light to occur only when the wipers are on !!!! It works normally on startup etc.

1987 911

This is one of the last electrical issues to sort out. Any ideas??

I had the weird seat belt warning light blink on and off too. My research said it was a failing alternator. I replaced with a reman unit and no longer have the problem.

Same issue

Did you find the issue? My beat belt goes on when I turn on my wipers too

Mine goes on for a second or two when I hit a bump, but very intermittently -- maybe once per drive. I've attributed to a short in the wire somewhere but haven't been able to find it yet. It's been doing it for years, both before and after I replaced my alternator.

Maybe one of the guru's here will respond with a good place to hunt

Solved mine as well. Do your headlights flicker sometimes?
